Rachel sat in playschool this week and stared at the picture in front of her of a door. Her teacher said they were drawing ladybugs on the door. Toddlers jumped in enthusiastically, drawing ladybugs and scribbling. Not Rachel. Granted, she was very tired. But, when I asked her about drawing lady bugs, she looked at me solemnly and said, "I don't know how to draw ladybugs."
-blink-
She will joyfully jump into other activities such as math or reading or pounding nails with a crowbar. But she won't attempt to draw a ladybug? I gently suggested that she think about what shape a ladybug was. She then managed to draw a couple of circles and stick some antennae on them.
I think I'm going to start leaving some "games" around that involve her drawing shapes and such.
